It's fun to dream big!
And, J...Thanks, Susan. It's fun to dream big! <br /><br />And, Joan, I planned on showcasing our CCS/PJC's covers but got busy and didn't dig them up. They were fun. For those who didn't see them, one side of the book jacket was designed to look more 'chick-lit' for our female readers. Then, when you passed it off to the man in your life for him to read, he could flip the jacket over and it looked like a basketball story--saving him embarrassment when he read it in public. Another day, another blog post; I'll put it up. <br /><br />I know Julie, too, has created collages of her stories as inspiration. And, Joan, I also have a folder of images torn from magazines--those who I thought represented my characters. It's fun to put a real face with who you see in your head.Pamela Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267333699680840984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-69414855882951159082011-02-19T09:47:29.829-06:002011-02-19T09:47:29.829-06:00Pamela, when you designed the cover for our Center...Pamela, when you designed the cover for our Center Court Seats and a Pair of Jimmy Choos, that made it real and so much fun! <br /><br />Like Susan, I keep stacks of often-consulted research books on my desk: Peter Ackroyd's London: The Biography; Gustave Doré's London: A Pilgrimage; London 1851, Eric de Maré's pictorial on The Great Exhibition; Hubert Pragnell's Architectural Britain; and of course, Tom Ogden's anthology of Haunted Cemeteries. <br /><br />I also keep a stack of favorite bookmarks: the handcrafted one Pamela made for our 1st retreat, author giveaways, and those from independent bookstores and the local library.<br /><br />Finally, I keep pictures of my characters that I've culled from magazines, to help me view my characters as 3 dimensional.Joan Morahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152990243138876941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-88664362317539283892011-02-18T16:58:17.593-06:002011-02-18T16:58:17.593-06:00Thanks for including my bookshelf!

Great idea.Susan Ishmael-Pouloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14902604968932512324noreply@blogger.com
